another common scam is when the scammer poses as a buyer. they want to buy something you have for sale. sends you a money order, then tells you oh, i've changed my mind, since you've already deposited the money order, go ahead and write him a check to refund the money. you refund his money, then find out the money order he sent is a fake.
